Hotel Maid Breaks Down After Looking Under The Blankets

Sep 06, 2021 by apost team

Becoming a hotel maid may not always be the most glamorous job, but it’s a job that can help pay the bills. Hotel staff rely on these cleaning services to be done every single day, multiple times a day, to ensure that guests are receiving the very best service possible when they stay the night. From taking care of the laundry to making beds to tidying up room after room, cleaning work is no easy feat as it is incredibly time-consuming.

One unnamed woman in Park City, Utah, really relied on her job as a hotel cleaner and especially relied on the extra tips that guests would sometimes leave. Before acquiring her job, the woman had little to no money and was simply looking for a place to stay. After seeing a “Now Hiring” sign outside of a hotel in her area, she eagerly walked in and asked what the job was for and was quickly taken on by the hotel staff as the new hotel maid.

The service industry is hard work, especially with how rude some people can be. Some people can be incredibly demanding with their expectations and even leave nasty remarks or comments. While being a maid wasn’t easy or glamorous work, this unnamed woman had put her nose to the grindstone for years as she showed that she was actually incredibly impressive at her job. 

However, in January 2014, she went in for her typical shift at work and came across something that immediately caused her to break down. After going into a guest’s room and lifting the blankets on one of the beds, she immediately burst into tears, shocked at what she discovered.

While some people can be incredibly rude to those working in the service industry, others have shown a better side of humanity and have even gone the extra mile to show their appreciation for these workers. Give Back Films is a team that has been active since 2013 and works at giving back to the community, especially those that have helped others and put in some hard, dedicated work. 

“We are motivated to grow our message through aligning the passion for giving back with major organizations supporting efforts in philanthropic or service based initiatives,” the team wrote in their YouTube bio. They have uploaded numerous videos to help inspire others to show their appreciation for others in their own communities and hopefully also give back to those in need.

According to Yahoo, Kyle Office and Josh Gibson of Give Back Films decided to help out an unsuspecting woman who worked as a hotel maid at a hotel in Park City, Utah, back in January 2014. They picked a hotel room to be the location of their surprise and set up cameras all over the room as well as outside the room’s windows. Speaking with the hotel’s manager in a now-viral YouTube video, they found out that the unnamed woman had an inspiring story. The woman was low on cash and had come to the hotel looking for a place to stay. After she spotted the “Now Hiring” sign, she took the job as the new maid and quickly got to work.

“She’s done a great job, excellent job,” the hotel manager said. “We were running out of towels and everything. We needed to get our laundry done.” She raved about how well the new cleaner performed. “Well, she went in, and not only did she start the laundry, but she started organizing it,” the manager explained.

Office and Gibson knew that they needed to do something to show the hotel cleaner just how much everyone appreciated her dedication to her work. They placed $500 in $20 bills under the sheets of a bed in one of the hotel rooms that the woman was scheduled to clean later that day, according to Yahoo. After getting their cameras and microphones set up, they were ready to capture the well-deserving woman’s reaction to her surprise.

After unsuspectedly going into the hotel room to clean it, the hotel maid was met with a life-changing surprise. After lifting the blankets on one of the beds up, she discovered all of the money laid across the sheet, totally to $500. Shocked, she completely stopped in her tracks before finally gathering up the bills. After seeing a sweet note that Office and Gibson had left her, she began to cry even more. The note read: “This is a tip! Enjoy!” with a smiley face drawn at the bottom of the strip of paper.

The hotel cleaner tried to return the money but to no avail. Surprised that her manager had been in on the entire stunt, she became even more emotional after being told just how much she deserved the tip. The cleaner’s reaction has since been viewed an astonishing 8.9 million times, with the Give Back Films team continuing to inspire others to give back.
